Special View Protos

You can use the protos described in this section to provide special-purpose views in
your applications. There are seven special view protos:

The

protoDragger

creates a view that can be dragged around the screen with

the pen. For more information about the slots and methods for this proto, see
“protoDragger” (page 6-45) in Newton Programmer’s Reference. Figure 7-22
shows an example of a

protoDragger

view.

The

protoDragNGo

creates a view that can be dragged around the screen with

the pen. This is identical to

protoDragger

, except that

protoDragNGo

includes a close box in the lower-right corner of the view. For more information
about the slots and methods for this proto, see “protoDragNGo” (page 6-47) in
Newton Programmer’s Reference. Figure 7-25 shows an example of a

protoDragNGo

view.
